I remember my mom YEARS ago, when I was a child, telling me if I ever wanted to lose weight, to cut out the breads, potatoes and other starchy foods. We're talking in the late 60's early 70's here! She used to be around 105 pounds at 5'3" and said that's how she did it.

And yes, I remember the 4 food groups too! Now I have protein, vegetables and good fat.

Yeah, my dad told me the same thing back in the 60's. He used to low-carb. The low-carb wisdom is much older than Atkins. Potatoes and bread, potatoes and bread... Of course, when I was a fat little kid, I didn't listen to any of that.

Same here, I remember my mom dieting all the time and all she ever did was cut back on carbs and maybe drink skim milk. Until I read about and was so gung-ho about low fat diets I always lost weight by cutting back carbs. I can only estimate but I was probably cutting carbs back to about 60 to 80 a day.
